It was to be the first event that would have seen ex-sporting couple Ronald Susilo and Li Jiawei appear together in the public eye again.
At the ceremony held at Paragon earlier this afternoon, three Team Singapore athletes, table tennis player Li Jia Wei, badminton player Ronald Susilo and shooter Lee Wung Yew were each to be presented with an exclusive Olympics Omega watch from luxury Swiss watchmaker, Omega.
But what would have been an awkward situation was eventually avoided, as it became apparent that Ronald will not be present after all. Instead, he was represented at the event by his brother. Meanwhile, all present, including Guest-of-honour, Minister for Defence and Singapore National Olympic Council president Teo Chee Hean wore bright smiles for the camera.
